Gavin Rossdale wishes he had more of a connection with Gwen Stefani for their kids’ sake.  And it sounds like he’s blaming her.  He says, quote, “I go to a lot of events where there’s ‘the other team,’ so to speak.”

 Parker McCollum and his wife Hallie are set to be first-time parents, with a son due in August.  And he’s got a little bet going with Luke Combs right now. They golfed a few weeks back and were messing around on guitar when Luke played him a song he just teased last week.  It’s called “The Man He Sees in Me”, about being a good dad. Luke told him once your first kid arrives, it’s hard NOT to write a million “dad songs”.  But Parker claimed it won’t be a problem for him. “There’ll be some references to [my son], but I don’t think I’ll do that.  I don’t think it fits in what I do.” Luke said sure, sure . . . and told him, “Call me in six months, and tell me how many dad songs you’ve written.”  Parker says they’ve got an “ongoing bet” about it. 

Good news, there’s another music festival that’s gonna take all of our money.  This one is called “Country Calling Festival” and it takes place on October 4th and 5th in Ocean City, Maryland.

On the closing night, Saturday, Tyler Childers and Lainey Wilson are headlining.  And you can catch Bailey Zimmerman, Brothers Osborne, and more.

Post Malone posted a clip of his new song with Morgan Wallen.   He said, quote, “Let’s go with the real mix this time.”  Morgan responded, quote, “This song is one of my favs in a long time.  Proud to be on it [with] you bub!!” As fans might remember, this isn’t the first time it’s been teased.  Morgan actually posted a stripped-down version back in December.  He ultimately deleted it, but you can still find it on fan accounts. No word on what the song is called or when it’ll be released.
